‹ Order of Business Housing anti-social behaviour powers
Summary
Willie O’Dea asks when the Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act provisions on repossession for anti-social behaviour will commence; the Taoiseach promises to provide an expected date.
As the Taoiseach will be aware, the Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2014 was passed last July. Part 2 of the Act which deals with the issue of repossession in the case of anti-social behaviour by local authority tenants has not been brought into effect almost 12 months later. Will the Taoiseach indicate when it will be brought into effect? Local authorities nationwide are being stymied in their efforts to take action against tenants in breach of the terms of their tenancies.
